You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?

Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

I'd love to, but there's no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

Guilded or Revolt seem like good alternatives if you can convince your entire community to move over, might still have privacy issues but I'm not really sure.

Moving to a different closed source platform feels pointless at this point, but maybe Lemmy is spoiling me

This right here. Honestly, if we're taking the time to hop platforms and start bolstering the next wave of popular sites and services, why make the same mistake again as the last time around?

No matter how much a company talks about how ethical they want to be or how much they value doing the right thing for their clients, once money enters the picture on a wider scale and people start looking in the direction of an eventual IPO, everything goes to shit.

Meanwhile, IRC is still working just fine. No degradation of services after decades. You can still throw your own ircd up on a $3/mo VPS and be golden.

Moving everything to open source, decentralized platforms can only be a boon for all of us in the long run. Anything less is just kicking the problem down the road a little.
